Artichoke and feta frittata: Combine a raw egg, salt, pepper, chopped pickled artichoke and crumbled feta. Beat lightly. Heat a skillet with a bit of butter and cook frittata on medium until egg is solid. Cool. Split a square of focaccia width-wise and spread butter on both sides. Add frittata (cutting if necessary) and top with arugula or fresh tarragon.(Stephanie Howard)

CHICKENCrunchy barbecue chicken: Mix a spoonful of mayonnaise with a bit of barbecue sauce. Spread on multi-grain bread. Layer on sliced chicken and season with freshly ground pepper. Add thinly sliced dill pickle and 3 to 4 potato chips.
Wasabi chicken: Thinly slice a few radishes and soak in seasoned rice-wine vinegar. Meanwhile, make a flavourful mayo by adding wasabi, a few drops of soy sauce and a little grated fresh ginger. Spread a baguette with the mayo. Blot radish slices and layer along with sliced chicken and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro. Want to mix it up? Add sliced fresh mango.(Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail)

TUNATuna lettuce wraps: Make a tuna filling as you normally would – a few drops of lemon juice and some finely chopped olives are very nice. Pack large iceberg lettuce leaves in one container and cucumber spears in another. Assemble wraps just before eating.
Tuna tortilla: Spread a soft tortilla with mayo or salsa (the green tomatillo kind works well). Layer on well-drained, lightly mashed tuna, shredded cheddar and lettuce. Prefer mayo with your tuna? Make a chipotle mayo by mixing a few drops of the adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers into a tablespoonful of mayonnaise. Roll it up, and send it packing.
